maybe but not really... i've done it a few times here on my network to keep a
system up while moving it to another system... in this case, i would add more
IP addresses to one system and then bind binkd instances to some of them so
they would take in the mail for the moving system(s)... once the system(s) was
moved, then everything was switched to the new installation... simple firewall
rules and port forwarding changes from one address to another... it is
especially fun when you're NATting your connection and have a block of IPs
coming through that NAT ;)

 MV> Firewall is nr one on my list, IPv4 only binkd version second.

i hadn't gotten there, yet... i was looking at the software configuration :)
